How to care for your dental implants for life
A well-placed implant can last a lifetime — but only with good daily care. The implant itself cannot decay, yet the gum and bone that support it can still be affected by plaque.
Your daily routine
- Brush twice a day, including around the implant crown
- Clean between teeth with floss or interdental brushes
- Use a soft brush to protect the gumline
- Visit us every six months for a professional check
Treat your implant like a natural tooth and it will reward you for decades.
